In an evolving global workforce, several nations prioritize the well-being of employees by implementing laws to protect their personal time.
France leads with its 'right to disconnect' law since 2017, followed by Australia, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, and Ireland. These laws prohibit companies from contacting staff after work hours, fostering a healthier work-life balance.
Such legislation aims to mitigate stress, burnout, and promote mental well-being. By setting clear boundaries between professional and personal life, these nations pave the way for happier, more productive employees.
